Abstract
Corynebacterium sp. strain SY-79 was isolated from soil, using squalene as a carbon source. Microbiological properties of this bacterium are described. The metabolic product of this bacterium from squalene was identified as 2,6,10,15,19, 23-hexamethyl-2,6,10,14,18,22-tetracosahexaenedioic acid (squalenedioic acid).This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
